Galaxy Note 4 issues

[mrbluru]

Today I updated firmware on my N910F Note 4 (Snapdragon) to Android 5.0.1 in the hopes that it would eliminate the graphical errors I was experiencing using Dolphin on 4.4.4

However since the update I am unable to load any game, I have tried the most recent build of Dolphin, and revision 4.0-4935 (the last working build on 4.4.4) but I get 'Unfortunately, Dolphin Emulator has stopped' errors whenever i select a game to launch

On 4.4.4 I was able to load games, they were just unplayable due to graphical errors. Is there something that would have changed in the update or something I need to configure to try and load games again?

You can play whatever you want, but it won't look that good unless the drivers are v95+. I have no clue what drivers your phone uses, so there's a chance they're the newer ones, but it's more likely they aren't. Also, Qualcomm seems to have broken fastmem in Lollipop, so even if you have newer drivers, you'll get low fps. The reason you're getting crashes is likely because you have fastmem enabled.

I've tried disabling fastmem but the emulator still crashes when trying to launch any game

Try this build, its the latest build that doesn't crash with the ARMv7 JIT. Or this build, which I have saved on my Google Drive because it's no longer on the buildbot. The first build should work, but it has quite a few issues running games with slowmem. The second build is the latest build that doesn't have issues with slowmem. Not that it really matters though, without fastmem it likely won't be worthwhile to you with the low fps.

Thx for the explanation. is the cpu speed hack available in the builds posted above??

The first build produced the same 'unfortunately dolphin emulator has stopped' error both with and without fastmem enabled
The second build runs with fastmem disabled (obviously at a much reduced frame rate) with a greatly reduced amount of graphical errors compared to my old drivers on 4.4.4. With fastmem enabled when attempting to load a game it exits to the Dolphin menu

Download antutu benchmark and see what GL [driver version] you have installed?
